July: New York, new Board members and Awards season fast approaching

July

After a jam-packed June, Advance took a moment to take a breath before jumping into the second half of the year. None the less, we were delighted to announce the Board appointments of Tracy Colgan and Louise Thurgood Phillips as part of the organisation’s continued focus on building capacity and impact, particularly in Asia.

With the Advance Awards season fast approaching and tables selling fast, we are looking forward to celebrating the individuals who are changing the face of Australia and the world through their passion, talent, and generosity on October 18th. It will be another extraordinary evening with Australia's most influential game-changers, and industry and government leaders.
